Importing References into your EndNote Library

EndNote provides two types of import options: importing of saved ".txt" files and importing of data from PDF files. The former usually involves importing data (references) from databases that do not offer the direct import option or importing data from citation & reference management systems, e.g. EndNote, RefWorks, Mendeley or Zotero. The latter option, the PDF import, involves extracting data from PDF files (full text articles) and then creating EndNote references from that data and attaching the PDFs to those references.

Import either an individual PDF file or a folder of PDF files. EndNote will extract PDF data to create EndNote references (for those references with DOI information in the reference) and attach the PDF full text article to the EndNote reference.
